Drawing and Painting- 8 Techniques


Spattering- Using a tool like a toothbrush to flick paint in a controlled manner at the image surface.

Impasto- Building up the surface of the paint so it becomes 3-D

Drybrushing- Removing excess paint from the brush and scrubbing it against the surface to create a scumbling effect.

Knife painting- Using a pallette knife to apply paint to the surface

Rubbing/imprint- Using a three dimensional item of surface to create a texture

Mix with another element- add items like sand or sawdust to the paint which creates a textured surface.

Stencil/masking- Covering an area to keep it from being effected by a treatment on other portions of a painting.

Sgraffito- (pronounced zgra-FI-tow)  Scratching into an existing wet layer of paint with a palette knife, revealing the layer below.
